Artists statement.
Romanticism is redefined as the emergence of ecopoetics and as a discourse that opens up critical questions and lines of investigation about our human place in the world.
My paintings signify this desire to be immersed in nature, to transcend separateness, alienation and fragmentation; a return to connection.
